Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a wide expanse of natural beauty located between Akron and Cleveland. During the summer, this national park has plenty of hiking, bicycling, fishing, and kayaking options and entertaining kid-friendly activities like junior ranger programs and seasonal train trips. The park's major feature is the magnificent Cuyahoga River, only a short drive outside Cleveland.

The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad has multiple stations, and spending a day on the train is a great opportunity to see a lot quickly. Hiking routes flowing around the park provide visitors with the finest opportunity to observe animals while going up to some of the park's primary areas of interest, such as Brandywine Falls, the park's largest waterfall.

In addition, during the cooler months, Cuyahoga Valley transforms into a winter paradise, attracting winter sports enthusiasts who want to spend their holiday snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or sledding.
